Trying to activate photoshop cs2 on a new computer and it fails saying error code 24:24.  Any ideas?

I am trying to activate Photoshop CS2 on a new computer.  This is on Windows 7.  The install worked fine and the application runs fine.  However, when I try to activate it says that the activation server is unreachable with an error code 24:24.  How can I activate my software?
Thanks.

You can't. The servers are dead and gone. Instead, see the page here:

There are CS2 downloads, plus the keys needed to activate them. Note; you MUST download those versions and use the supplied keys, not your old ones. Read and follow the directions on the page carefully, and you will be up and running again in no time.

  • I am trying to Install CS5.5 on a new computer and it is saying my product key is valid but a qualifying product cannot be found.

    I have Adobe CS 5.5 with a valid product key (On the original box) but it wont install on my new work computer. This product is owned by my company and has been used in the past on my old computer.
    I enter the product key and get the customary Green Check Mark:
    [image removed by moderator]
    I Click "Next" and it displays the screen below. I do not have any CS 5.5 programs installed on this computer. (It is brand new - opened and set up this morning)
    I used this disk to install CS5.5 on my previous computer which has crashed and did not need to Upgrade anything. I do not have any other product keys to use for the second box and I have found nothing on this problem in the forums.
    Any help is appreciated, I am at a loss.

    Never share your serial number in a public forum or other non-private communication.
    For the second image you show you need to follow the instructions.
    You copy of CS5.5 appears to be an upgrade version.  THis means it was made available at a reduced price because you had an earlier version that you upgraded from.  The second image you show is asking you to provide the information for that older version as proof that you qualify to activate/use the new one.

  • I'm trying to import RAW images from my new Fugifilm X-T1. iPhoto says the files are "unrecognizable".Any ideas?

    I'm trying to import RAW images into iPhoto from my Fugifilm X-T1 camera. I get a message saying the "file cannot be recognized". Any ideas ?

    Not necessarily.  Some  "glitches" were experienced by a significant number of users but not all of us, like the WiFi problem.  Those that experienced these issues did have a miserable time of it trying to get things right.  Personally I had no issues.  I did, however, boot into the Recovery volume after installing Yosemite and after each update to repair disk permissions and the disk.  There were a lot of permissions repaired each time.
    Remember millions have upgraded to Yosemite and the number of those having problems is probably a very, very small percentage of them.  That doesn't negate the problems they're having but sometimes overshadows the large percentage of those not having problems.  
    If you plan on upgrading to Yosemite do not run any "cleaning" or "optimizing" applications on your Mac or have any anti virus software installed.  Neither are necessary and are know to do more harm that good.

    I am trying to activate my program into my new computer (the old one was run over by a car) and it says I have exceeded my installations.  It's Adobe Audition 3 (you can see I've been using it a long time) and I rely on it for work everyday.  Please advise.

    The activation server for Audition 3 was shut down by Adobe several years ago.
    You now need to download the non-activation version provided by Adobe here
    Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    Install then enter the new serial number provided by Adobe at that link. Your existing serial number will no longer work.

  • Is there any way I can still activate Photoshop CS on a new computer. I know it's a very old version, but it's what I have.

    You are severely schizophrenic, Benjamin Root.
    A few posts ago in this very same thread, you were saying: 
    "They definitely could use better support! " and "You would think Adobe could afford better support with their profit increasing as it has."
    Now you're saying he'd respond:
    "And why not? It's cheap and I'm supporting my fellow countrymen. Just look at how our stock values are increasing, since I've taken over!"

  • I installed photoshop cs6 in my new computer and when it asks me for my serial number I write it but it wont accept it

    I installed photoshop cs6 in my new computer and when it asks me for my serial number I write it but it wont accept it

    There are two steps when entering a serial number:
    When you enter it in the 24-digit field, you should see a green checkmark. If you see a red x, you may have mis-typed the number, as Ben pointed out, it could be for a suite instead of a standalone product.
    If it takes the number and installs, then activation is the next step. If it fails to activate, you may have exceeded your activations or the number might have been retired.
    In that case, contact Customer Care with proof of purchase.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is oen way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Devices>Transfer Purhases
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
